A county funding mechanism,
the Special Projects fund, which
has been used extensively by
Columbia County commission-
ers to help fund community proj-
ects outside of the budget
process was discontinued at
the beginning of this fiscal year.
'The special projects fund had
been around for at least 15 years,
if not longer," County Manager
Dale Williams said. "It was start-
ed as a way for the board to bud-
get monies for projects that may
not surface during the budget
process."
Projects that may not surface

services for Coast Guard.
By TROY ROBERTS
troberts@lakecityreporter.com
TIMCO Aviation Services, Inc. has
been awarded a United States Coast
Guard repair contract that could be
valued at nearly $27 million.

According to U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson's
office, R-Fla., TIMCO was awarded
the negotiated contract on Monday
for the procurement of progressive
structural inspection services for the
USCG HC-130H aircraft. The contract
is for repairs on a total of 15 HC-130
aircraft, up to three each year.
"The effort includes the minimum
work requirements for inspection,
flight test and preparation for delivery
of Coast Guard C-130 aircraft by the

depot facility," the notification from
Nelson's office reads. According to
paperwork, the contract is designed
to return the aircraft to serviceable
but not like new condition.
I The Progressive Structural
Inspection includes an initial, one-
time, baseline inspection followed
by several focused "progressive"
inspections conducted at intervals of
approximately every 18 to 36 months.

McKenzie, who accumulated
71 votes, served six years as a

White Springs residents also passed
two charter amendments. The first
amendment gives the town council
the option to either organize its own
police department or to contract with
an outside law enforcement agency,
such as the Hamilton County Sheriff's

Office, to provide the town with law
enforcement services.
Town Manager Robert Townsend
said the amendment was necessary
in light of budget cutbacks that could

People are drawn to the

Author Beverly Lewis gives
millions of Americans a fic-
tional peek into the lives of the
Amish in Lancaster County,
Pa., with her books.
The New York Times best-
selling author signed cop-
ies of her latest novel, "The
Forbidden," Tuesday night at
Lake City Christian Supply.
Book signings are always
a fun endeavor for Lewis, she
said.
"It is so exciting because
everyone has something to
tell me, everyone seems to
be really excited about this
series," Lewis said. 'They are
either in tears or grinning
from ear to ear."
Patricia Brickles, of Live
Oak, brought her entire col-
lection of Lewis novels but
only planned on getting 'The
Forbidden" signed.
Rose Layton, from Live Oak,
was pulled into the series after
checking them out from her
church library.
"I'm amazed people real-
ly live like that in today's
society," Layton said.
All the fans gathered gave
nothing but praise to Lewis,
calling her work engaging and
oftentimes addictive.
"Her style is addictive, it
flows so nicely," said Barb
Yaney, from Gainesville.
From 7 to 8 p.m., fans gath-
ered at Lake City Christian
Supply to talk with and meet
the author who bases most
of her writings around the
Amish culture.
"As a little kid, I was always
writing short stories and
thoughts and hiding them in
a drawer," Lewis said.
She was first published as a
young adult author writing for
teen girls with Holly's Heart
series, but she said she always
knew she wanted to write for
adults.
"A few years later, I got to
thinking a lot about the sto-
ries I would hear about my
maternal grandmother who
was shunned from the plain

JOHNNA PINHOLSTER/Lake City Reporter

community," Lewis said.
The interest in her grand-
mother, who grew up in the
Old Order Mennonite reli-
gion, started young and was
the basis for her first adult
fiction book, 'The Shunning."
Adding to the fact that
Lewis grew up in Lancaster
County, Pa., the area and her
mind were ripe for drawing on
information and stories within
the Amish culture.
"Having grown up across
the lane from Amish fami-
lies and, hearing and reading
so many things that weren't
true, I realized I wanted to
delve into more of their seci-et
practices," Lewis said.
The idea of shunning, where
one is turned away from the
community due to a religious
infraction or loss of faith, was
the basis of Lewis' first book.
Rumschpringe is another
practice within the religion,
where teenagers are allowed
to enter into mainstream cul-
ture for a time before they go
back to the Amish community
and are officially baptized in
the church.
In her new series, courting
practices of the Amish are
touched on as a young couple
stresses over the possibility of
being separated as the Amish
church prepares to split.
The fictional story in "The
Forbidden" takes place dur-
ing the very real church split
that happened in Lancaster
County, Pa., in 1966.
"I had been doing some
research for a previous series
and stumbled across this
spiritual upheaval in the

community," Lewis said.
The split was also cultural as
well. Some wanted to adapt with
modern inventions like tractors
and electricity, Lewis said.
The split would birth the
New Order. Amish and split
families and would-be beaus
and ladies apart, she said.
'"The Forbidden" is the sec-
ond book in the Courtship of
Nellie Fisher trilogy.
Lewis said her love of
writing stemmed from two
things.
"I had a curious mind and a
wild imagination," Lewis said.
"The Shunning" has sold
more than 900,000 copies and.
continues to sell like it has just
been published, Lewis said.
'People reading the story
really captured the passion that
I had to tell the story about my
grandmother," Lewis said.
The biggest burden is also
Lewis' biggest help when
writing a book, she said.
"Deadlines although
they do keep you on track,
without them you might take
too leisurely a route," Lewis
said. "I write two novels a year
and that keeps me hopping."
The third book in the

Courtship of Nellie Fisher tril-
ogy will be released in the fall,
Lewis said.
"I always start a book when
the character starts vying for
attention," Lewis said. "In the
last book of a previous series,.
I realize there is a new char-
acter that wants to take things
over."
Lewis said she likes to write
trilogies to flesh out the char-
acter development and con-
flict and while one series went
to five books she probably
won't take that route again in
storytelling.
Engaging the audience
with a overlying story arc and
keeping the characters fresh
and exciting can get difficult if'
a series is too long.
Lewis also flows back and
forth between young adult
and adult fiction quite easil,y
and both bring her pleasure,
she said.
"The story lines are less
complex for the young adult,
and there always has to be
a strong romance, although
there is always a love story or
two in the adult books," Lewis
said. "The adult material is
equally rewarding, it is more
complex and takes more time
to outline and make every-
thing over lap and manage the
character arcs."
Lewis and her husband
now live in Colorado Springs,
Colo., but she often goes back
to Lancaster County, Pa., and
spends time within the Amish
community to do research to
accurately portray customs
and beliefs in her books.
'They are very receptive
because of my mother's Plain
connections there," Lewis
said. "And many of them have
read my books."

White train depot certainly
will pay dividends down
the road for the city and
the southern portion of
Columbia County.
The facility has been a part of the Fort
White landscape since the late 1890s and
now it is as pristine as ever. State grant
money has provided for $275,000 in
renovations to the historical structure.
Now, the city will decide the various
uses for the building. Whatever, it
chooses, the structure's location
lends it to the trail head of the
O'Leno-Ichetucknee Trail that runs
between the state park and the town of
Fort White.
When it opens next month, the
900-square-foot facility is sure to
become a tourist attraction that takes
people to a whistle stop oni the memory
main line.
Fort White, especially during the
,summer tubing season, is a hotbed of
regional tourism. The depot facility will
fit nicely with its approach to promoting
the natural attractions of the area.

SCHOOL: Board approves
purchase of 2-acre parcel

Continued From Page 1A
several months. The district
recently entered into contract
negotiations with the land-
owner, which resulted in a
$117,500 asking price. School
Board attorney Guy Norris
said that the asking price was
significantly less than the
appraised value, which was
approximately $130,000.
After further discussion, the
board opted into the contract.
The school board also dis-
cussed the problem of truancy
within the district. The levels
of absenteeism have risen in
recent years, and while cur-
rent trends show a slight
decrease during the current
school year compared to
the 2006-2007 school year -
the percentages of students
at the high school level with
more than 21 absences were
alarming to board members.
Board member Glenn
Hunter asked if the district
had the resources to address
the issue. Lex Carswell,
assistant superintendent of
instruction, said the best way
to fight against the grow-
ing trend is to make parents
aware of it and get commu-
nity involvement. While the
Columbia County elementary
and middle schools are either
below or slightly above the
state average, board mem-
ber Linard Johnson said the
greatest concern was at the
high school level, where
the percentages of students
missing more than 21 days is
well above the state average.
He asked if there was a way
the district could look into
seeing what some of the fac-
tors are for the high levels of

absenteeism.
The board also:
Considered the reim-
bursement of invalidated tax
certificates at the site of the
Corrections Corporation of
AmericaLake CityCorrectional
Institution. Norris said the
board has been involved in liti-
gation for a number of years
because of tax certificates that
were sold in 1997 by the coun-
ty tax collector. He said when
the correctional facility was
constructed there was some
debate on whether the facility
would be required to pay coun-
ty taxes. After one year, the
tax certificate to the property
was sold and the buyer paid
the school board its required
taxes on the property. That tax
certificate was recently vali-
dated and the school board
will pay back the' $103,277.26
the man paid the board at the
time of the purchase.
Norris said the board has
anticipated this and has money
in reserves that have been
withheld by the tax collector
and the money won't come
directly out of the district's
pocket.
Superintendent Grady
"Sam" Markham was recog-
nized for his participation in
the Florida Superintendent
Leadership Development
Program training, "Core
Concepts of Leadership for
Florida Superintendents," host-
ed by the Florida Association of
DistrictSchoolSuperintendents
and Department of Education.
This training seminar means
Markham's special qualifi-
cation certification will be
extended until April 30, 2009.

have named the blaze The
Seminole Road Fire.
Columbia County Fire
Department units were the
first units on the scene and
responded with two engines,
a 3,000-gallon tanker, three
brush trucks, one staff vehicle
and nine firefighters.
The fire department was
alerted to the blaze as the
result of a 911 emergency call
and units were dispatched to
the scene at 1:36 p.m.
Columbia County Fire
Department assistant fire
chief Jim Cason was the first
firefighter on the scene.,
"I had my hands full with
the winds gusting, grass and
20-foot flames rolling across
there pretty good with a
4-5 mph rate of spread," Cason
said. "The fire had a pretty
good run with the winds gust-
ing like they were (Tuesday).
The fire was coming around

that lake pretty well and start-
ing to spread south into the
woods."
Cason said he was trying to
slow the fire and keep it from
going south into a nearby tim-
ber stand because he didn't
know whether any houses
were on the other side of the
trees.
"I tried to cut it off with my
truck, but what kept happen-
ing was the flame height on
the grass was so high and it
keep getting so hot," he said.
"I had to back up, hit the fire
(with water), roll forward and
hit again. About the third time
I did that Engine 40 showed
up. Shortly after that, probably
four or five minutes after that,
forestry (rangers) showed up
and starting plowing the lines,
and that's what made the real
difference."
Cason said residents
can expect a lot of smoke

Division of Forestry personnel
were alerted to the fire after
hearing reports about a brush
fire from Columbia County
Fire Department radio traf-
fic. Forestry rangers left the
district office headed to the
scene at 1:49 p.m. and arrived
at 2:10 p.m.
'They had a line around
the fire at 2:20 p.m., and it
was contained," Billingsley
said. "After they put a line
around the fire, they contin-
ued improving the lines and
left the scene at 2:42 p.m."
Forestry rangers used trac-
tors with plows to install the
fire lines around the fire.
"It took about 10 minutes
to get a good line around the
fire." Billingsley said.

year by $9 billion, we need

Townsend said. "Our chief and
police department are doing
excellent work."
The amendment also states
that the chief shall be respon-
sible to, and report to, the
town manager for supervisory
purposes, but the town coun-
cil has sole hiring and firing
authority.
"It would streamline the
running of the police depart-
ment, but the town manager
will not run the police depart-
ment," Townsend said. "I
depend upon every supervisor
to run their department, and I
answer to the town council."
The amendment also states
that the police department
shall be supervised by the

chief of police and sets forth
the credentials required to
perform his duties.
The second charter amend-
ment sets the date by which
the town council shall nomi-
nate persons to serve on vari-
ous boards and committees
for the fiscal year.
The amendment allows non-
residents to serve on boards
and committees with the
exception of the Planning and
Zoning Board, which requires
a resident be seated on the
board. Also, a four-fifths vote
is required to allow a non-
resident to be appointed to the
Board of Adjustment.
At 7 p.m. Thursday, a
special meeting of the town
council will be held in the
conference room at White
Springs town hall to swear-in

the newly-elected councilmen.
Following the swearing-in, the
council will elect a mayor and
vice mayor.

THE BIG ONE

LAKE CITY

April 28th
Columbia
County
Fairgrounds

cages at Columbia High School that totaled
$780 and were funded from the special proj-
ects account of Dist. 5 County Commissioner
Elizabeth Porter.
Also funded this year from Porter's special
projects fund was $1,000 to help buy trees for
the recent communitywide Arbor Day tree give-
away, and approximately $6,000 to help repair
security features at AnotherWay, a women and
childrens' shelter and safe haven.
Nearly every project benefits the commu-
nity in one way or another, according to the
commissioners, who are asked to assist many
varied projects throughout the year.
But with budget cuts affecting the state and
Lake City, the county was prepared for the
move.
'The simple truth was that it was hard for
the commission to ask others for budget cuts
without doing the same, so they chose to lead
by example," Williams said.
"It's too bad (the fund) was discontinued,
because there are plenty of worthy projects
that the money could benefit," Porter said. "We
knew the budget crunch was coming and that's
why it was eliminated."
Critics of the fund argued that the com-
missioners were spending taxpayers' money
without accountability.
"It was on the consent agenda so the public
was free to voice its disagreement with any of
the expenditures," Porter said. 'There are a lot
of kids in the county who benefited from the
special projects funds.
"Most of money from the fund was spent

"Honestly, I didn't have a
problem with the special
project money as long as
it was spent to better the
area. Unfortunately, there

on things like parks, children's recreation and
roads, all projects to benefit the community."
Dist. 1 County Commissioner Ron Williams
said that some members of the community
believed the money could be better spent,
including the editorial board at the Lake City
Reporter, he said.
"We did a lot of good with that money. We
funded items that normally wouldn't be funded
through the budget," Ron Williams said. "The
money benefited the citizens, and now it's lost
and nothing can be done about it."
Dist. 4 County Commissioner Stephen Bailey
agrees that the money was well spent.
"Honestly, I didn't have a problem with the
special project money as long as it was spent to
better the area," he said. "Unfortunately, there
will be a lot of good projects that won't have
funding."

semifinal match.

FORT WHITE Old
habits die hard.
The Indians fell into a
five-run hole early Tuesday
and never fully recovered,
ultimately falling out of
district contention in a 6-2
loss to Williston High.
-In the other District 5-3A
semifinal game Tuesday,
fourth-seeded P.K. Yonge
School edged No. 1 Chiefland,
2-0. The Blue Wave and Red
Devils will meet in the district
title game at 7 p.m. today.
No. 2 Williston struck
early Tuesday, scoring five
runs in the bottom of the
second inning against the
third-seeded Indians' starter,
David Thompson, including
one on a leadoff home run
over the right-center field
fence. Consecutive doubles
later in the inning brought
in two runs apiece, and the
Indians were left playing
catch-up.
Fort White's Chad Evans
batted in Andy Gonzalez with
a single in the top of the
third to put the Indians on the
board, and Dakota Carpenter's
double on the next at-bat

softball tournament.
The victory the first in
state playoff history for the
Indians (17-8) pushes Fort
White into the regional semifi-
nal round, where the Indians
will travel to Keystone Heights
(19-8) Friday night. Keystone
Heights stunned District 5-3A
champion P.K Yonge, 6-2, on
Tuesday night.
'Taylor is a very polished
and accomplished player," said
Fort White head coach Frank
Howell. "I'm enjoying having
her on the mound."
Douglass (13-7) gave up
a first-inning single to Kimn
Traxler that deflected off
her leg and into the outfield.
After that, she and her team's
defense held the Rams (10-12)

brought in Evans.
'We tried to fight back,"
Fort White's George Demko
said. "We started batting
good, but we made a few
errors. We had our chances,
but we just didn't do what we
needed to."

would be his final high school

Bowden reflects

on Florida State

Head coach says
it's his decision on
when to step down.
By TIM KIRBY
tkirby@lakecityreporter. com
Bobby Bowden returned to
where it all began on Tuesday
and thoughts turned to how
much longer.
"This is the 32nd year
of these banquets and the
first one was right here,"
Bowden said. "I'll never forget
it."
After the opening jokes
and quarterback report,
Bowden sidetracked to
address the successor
situation.
He said he was approached
by Florida State President
T.K. Wetherall and his
representative and told they
wanted to name a succes-
sor. Bowden recommended
long-time defensive coordina-
tor Mickey Andrews, but the
decision was to go with a
younger person. Offensive
coordinator Jimbo Fisher was
named.

"Nothing's changed,"
Bowden said. "I'm still the
head football coach at Florida
State. He's just the guy who is
going to follow me."
Bowden said he did not
sign the usual five-year con-
tract extension because he is
78 years old and did not want
to coach until he was 83.
"I signed for one year and
they will let me tell them if I
want to come back another
year," Bowden said. "Yi'hknow
there is a day you'have1 t6step
out and usually your assistants
get fired or have to leave, too.
That always bothered me.
"Now I feel better. If I
decide to retire, we have got
somebody there and they
know who it is."
Bowden said the Seminoles
had a good spring.
Quarterback Drew
Weatherford was injured on
the first weekend of spring
practice and the coaches
got a good look at Christian
Ponder ("good spring") and
DVontrey Richardson ("lot of
potential").
BOWDEN continued on 2B

baseball game Tuesday, said
that although the Indians did
not secure a playoff spot, they
did what they set out to do at
the beginning of the seaso n.
"All we really wanted to
do all season was get better,"
Carpenter said. "We definitely
did that, at least.
"The last two times we

played this team, they 10-run-
ruled us, so it was big for us
to come back and play them
tough. We were all into it as
a team."

run in the bottom of the sixth

in check, retiring 17 straight
,batters after that. She ran
into trouble in the seventh
after an error off a Traxler
ground ball and a Brittani
Whitehurst single put runners
on first and third with one
out. But Douglass bounced
back by striking out Christina
Andrews, then getting Kristin
Moore to line out to second
baseman Amber 4Harrell to
end it.
"Our defense has played
well all season," Howell
said. 'We lost some games

Alexi Hodson singled to

David Thompson, who
earned a win from the mound
and batted in the winning run
a day earlier against No. 6

"David has been a bulldog
for us," Fort White coach Mike
Rizzi said. "He did everything
we hoped he would do and
more this week. I really can't
say enough about the effort he
gave out there."
The most difficult part of
the Indians' season may' be
yet to come. They will have
to watch two other teams

compete on their home field
for a championship. But after
giving their best shot, there
was no doubt the last two
teams standing deserved their
spot, Carpenter said.
"They're the ones who
earned it," Carpenter said.
"They deserve it. We didn't

right to play."
Fort White finished the

Weatherford is the starter
unless beaten out in the fall.
Bowden said recruiting
was good with needs filled on
the offensive line and at run-
ning back.
"We need some freshmen
to come in and help us to
have an excellent season,"
Bowden said. "I think it will
happen. We have got quality

Bowden said Florida State
was again offered the Labor
Day national TV game, but
declined this year.
'We have six first-teamers

Asked about the

Bowden said it was a near
unanimous decision.
"Some things you don't
say," said Bowden, giving
the example of "looked like a

"You are a PR man,
